I read this ages ago, but had forgotten most of it, and could hardly put it down. I need to read the sequel like right now.
Just be warned: there are no Happily Ever Afters in Morganville, Texas.

Overall, I think this is the start to a fun and fast popcorn series. If you're wanting something a little melodramatic, action-packed, and twisty, with a sprinkling of teen romance, snarky banter, and bloody fangs, then you might want to check out this series. It may come off a tad dated with its reliance on the I'm-not-like-other-girls protagonist and cartoonish-bully tropes, and a noticeable lack of smart phones, but that also just feeds into its nostalgic charm. I don't know when I'll get the chance to come back to this series, but its a safe bet that it won't be too long from now.
